Morning Mash Up’s producer Mikey Piff found this article about a woman who found out she was allergic to her husband’s man juice, on their wedding night. Talk about a night gone wrong. That’s definitely not an allergy you hear about often, and it sure isn’t the standard way you find out your allergic to something.
Ryan knows someone who’s allergic to the sun (what?!). If he goes outside without wearing sunglasses he sneezes uncontrollably. Nicole’s mom is allergic to penicillin, which isn’t all too uncommon. However, the way her mom found out she was allergic was when she was taking it as an antibiotic and broke out in hives all over her body during a dinner party.

So I was at olive garden have a nice night. I wanted to try my sisters shrimp pasta so I did. Next thing to happen is I break out in hives, my eyes start buring, and I begin to not breath so well. I have never had shrimp before ever cause I never liked it so the one time I try it I almost die. Me and shrimp are just not ment to be.
I’m allergic to mother nature. spring time is hell for me. I went into a giant factory green house once as a kid and almost had to be rushed to the hospital because of all the different plants and allergens. I would be the perfect candidate for living in space!
I have a heat allergy. Being overheated or too warm will cause me to break out in hives. The sun, hot showers, dressing to warm for the weather( being a Pennsylvania resident , makes this one really suck 30 degrees in the morning could be 70 degrees by afternoon.) , an extra blanket on the bed, all cause the same reaction. No Fun. A friend turned down the heat in their hot tub so I could join the party, I passed out, swollen and looking like a red puffer fish! It wasnt traced to heat til I was a teenager, and my mother had thrown out or donated everything that caused a hive reaction. I cannot Fathom the cost of things that were used once and disposed of, blankets, shirts, pajamas, detergents, soaps, etc.etc. The Emergency room visits alone were in the thousands. ( the doctor convinced my mother my airway would close up and I would die if I had a really severe reaction)Well, I am sure you have the idea..LOL
I’m allergic to some alcohol. It depends on what it is especially. Beer, I cannot drink a better because the yeast in the beer UNLESS it’s mixed with something like Michelada beer. Drinking beer by itself causes me to break out in rashes and it takes forever to clear up. Even though I take a Claritin before I drink, it only helps temporarily.
Some certain Merlot for Sangria can VERY MUCH put my whole body in rashes. It starts from my neck to my chest and then spreads towards my arms. Its itchy and painful. Rum is one of them too.
The only thing I can drink at this time is a Bloody Mary.
I am allergic to everything under the sun. It started when I was in about 4th grade, my skin would welt every time I had an itch. It only got worse as I got older. If some one hit me, or I bumped into something, I would welt. Kids made fun of me and were constantly wanting to draw in my skin. I couldn’t even scratch my eye without looking like I got punched in the face. I went to the doctor, and have been taking Zyrtec since 8th grade. Its been about six years, and I now I can’t survive without it! My skin uis used to not welting, so if I run out or forget to take it I itch uncontrollably. It will start with a simple itch on my arm, and then spread all the way to my back then around my stomach and down my legs. Sometimes it itches my feet to walk across the floor. With Zyrtec, my skin only turns red. It’s a lot better then welts.
I got hit in the face with a basketball one time, and everyone laughed. It welted and swelled immediately! My face was so SO big. I looked like a burn victim. Even my sister laughed! I cried.
I found out on my wedding night that I have a latex sensitivity. It was so embarrassing because I swelled up like a balloon down there and my hubby had to get a flashlight and a mirror so we could both figure out why I was swelling up and turning red. Try explaining THAT to your family doctor!

I was wondering if anyone could help!My son is 12 he will be 13 next month.Yesterday he broke out in a rash all over his body head to toe.Red ,itchy rach.He had hives also.We were at church and he was fine on our way home he told me he thinks he has poisin ivy.Well i knew it wasnt we live in town and he hasnt been around the woods or anything like that.It was just on the chin,about 20 to 25 min later his whole body is covered.I called the family doc,they could get him in later not to worry.Well about 10 to 15 min pass im now on my way to hospital because hes breathing funny and eyes are swollen shut. They say he was having a reaction to his amoxicillen,but when we got home from church my husband found an empty beer can in the trash.he says he didnt drink it but i dont know what to bealeave.He has been lying a lot lately.So i was wondering if anyone knew if a rash from beer looked the same as a rash from medication? If you could help me out in anyway this would be great.I just want to make sure this does not happen again. Oh and anouther thing we got rid of all the beer,my husband only drinks with friends anyway,but now Im not allowing it in our home for my sons sake.Thank you

It’s the weirdest thing. When I run to exercise or even walk long distance outside, in the grocery store etc. my legs welt up, feels like I get chill bumps, my legs get really red, really warm and it hurts. It feels like burning, tingling sensation that is painful. I try to endure it but I can’t after a few minutes its really irritating. Its the worst on my upper legs, but it also is on my butt and sometimes my lower back and sides. Its never on my arms or hands, face etc. Its really strange and since I am getting older its getting worse it seems. I have tried using ice packs to rub on before and after running, and I have tried a menthol no-itch lotion. Nothing really works. I was wondering if any else has ever experiences this, if so please help!
